Topic: On naming the ship "Slave I"

After watching the "Slave I" clip from Star Wars Robot Chicken Episode II, I got to wondering about the name for Boba's craft. Why did Jango name it the Slave I? Does anyone know the story behind that?

Bah, wiki would just change it back. They do that. You go to change an article to be correct and they change it back. Happens to me every single time. I gave up. That's one of the reasons not to trust wikis because they're not always accurate. I use the official source: starwars.com's databank. I also trust my memory to be correct on most things. I'm like a sort of walking wiki; I know most the answers, and whatever I don't know I can lie about.

Actually prior to the "Jango past" I thought the ship was named Slave I to show that Boba had no real attachment to anything. He saw it as merely a means to an ends, although I think it's truly one of the only possessions that Boba is fond of - but is prepared to sacrifice if neccessary.

There is actually an interesting story behind it. A modified Firespray 31, There only 6 or 5 made in the galaxy, being used as prisoner transport ships. During a prison riot, Jango stole one of these ships and renamed it Slave 1. After his death in the battle of geonosis, Boba inherited it.

The best explanation is that the craft is only a tool, and the "Slave" designation is an indication of its purpose as only a tool, and a direct counterpoint to the common practice of ship captains to give their craft names,personalities, and a level of respect normally accorded sentient beings. In this line of work, any personal attachment is potentially deadly. The one indicator of their code is that the Firespray was initially created as a police craft. It represents order. That all being said, I'm not sure.
